Verdict
Greenpanda was having his first start since February last year when scoring at Sligo 10 days ago where he was always up with the pace. He'll be 6lb higher here but has to be greatly respected. St Clerans got off the mark at the 14th time of asking in a Ballinrobe maiden while Zero Ten returned from a long break to land a Galway maiden for qualifying riders. The latter's stable also run Maricruz, a winner over 1m2f at Navan before poor runs over hurdles and in a Galway handicap. VULTAN (NAP) beat the prolific All Class at Roscommon and has been narrowly beaten in better company than this the last twice and still looks well in despite a 4lb rise for finishing second at the Curragh.
